I have a 240 gal which im using Just straight tap water from my sink. No Conditioner. So If they lived the first time im guessing i can do this again? How do u ppl Condition Big tangs? i have 3 smaller tank and i just fill a 5g bucket add a few drops and wait then add.. I love to do this for the 240 but after test one i dont see the point anymore. Plus i dont want to Fill 50 buckets and just slowly fill the thing back up. :X
 
you should just get a bottle and the premeasure a "dose" and put it fim tubes.that way just pour the film tube into the tank and add water.
 
i never condition my water
but i do also know it has nothing in it
contact your water company and ask if they add anything to it
 
when i start a bog tank just fill it up with no fish, then add conditioner then turn on the filters..My water has chlorine in it, i can smell it..its no big deal..

I never did either, and had no problems...but then I moved, and didn't condition, without checking out my new tapwater. I lost 6 fish (stupid) :(
 
i live on a well so i dont condition my water. but i also have city water too so i marked whcih ones have city and which ones have well.

but at the school where i manage tanks. i do condition.
and i use the film can technique.

if you feel comfortable doing it then by all means go for it
 
bizzaro do you live in the city?
usually city water needs to be treated, if you dont live it the city you SHOULD be ok

What techinque is this??
 
film can technique.
What the? never heard of this? i love to Just grab the fish and put them into a tank for the change but... im having a hard time getting the cat fish with my new Wood Cave :x
 
i went for many years without ever having to age or condition my water, straight out of the tap it was perfect. now i've moved to a bigger town and it took some getting used to, now i've got about a dozen cleaned milk jugs with aged water in the garage 24/7.
